Canadian money management online

Money Digest, Dec, 1996

If you have access to a computer and the Internet, you can get an enormous amount of financial information, much of it free. The problem for most people is this. What is available? How to get there? One can keep surfing the net, but that is neither efficient nor helpful when one is in a hurry. A great number of books are available in the States, but they are not geared to Canadian investors.

Hence it is a pleasure to review Canadian Money Management Online by Jim Carroll and Rick Broadhead, two of the best known Canadian Internet experts.

Here is a list of topics on which you can access information on the Internet:

* Personal financial planning;

* Banks and trust companies;

* Credit information;

* Your home;

* Insurance information;

* Tax information;

* Investment information;

* Mutual funds;

* Retirement planning, RRSPS; and,

* Estate planning.

This book is simple to read and understand. It is extremely well laid out with several attractive illustrations and interesting and useful information.
